@Voluntraveler now on Twitter

By now I'm sure you've heard of Twitter, the "micro-blogging" tool used now by millions to "tweet" 140 character messages to all of their "followers" about whatever they want. It can be linked to Facebook to update your profile status ("Had soup for lunch - it was delish"), it is being used to spread news (like the plane crash-landing in the Hudson) and many businesses and organizations use it to keep their fans up to date on the latest deals and happenings.

Voluntraveler has jumped on the Twitter bandwagon and you can follow us here: http://www.twitter.com/voluntraveler

We probably won't be reporting breaking news. We won't be sharing what the Toronto team had for lunch. We won't be using this very often. However, we will be using it to spread informaiton we think is worth spreading about volunteer travel. We hope that you will join Twitter and help us become better advocates for volunteering in general.
